Study Abroad with IES Abroad
"It was extremely worthwhile. I now have the confidence to live in a country with an unfamiliar language and culture. It's the most rewarding experience I've had in my life. The cliches are true."
Sheri A The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, I would say it was. I learned a lot about Spain and America's relationship as well as their place in the world, as well as a great understanding of Spanish culture. I also became a lot more aware of the way that different people live and think, as well as the way they see Americans."
Peter R DePauw University
"I became more responsible and more independent. The program was perfect for me because of all I've listed above. I would love to go back to Spain. I became a better conversational Spanish speaker. I learned a lot about culture, too and definitely did some things outside of my comfort zone, which were good experiences."
Rachel G Brandeis University
"I enjoyed my time there thoroughly and plan to return sometime. Until then I had never been abroad and am glad to have the experience."
Kyle G The University of Texas at Austin
"I became a lot more flexible and adaptable because of this experience. I learned to communicate with others more efficiently. I have traveled a lot, prior to this program, but this was the first time I was on my own, fending for myself and overcoming obstacles on my own. This experience made me realize how small and connected th..."
Celina A The University of Texas at Austin
"My experience was extremely worthwhile, I feel like I have grown substantially from the trip as a person."
Alex R The University of Texas at Austin
"I think that studying abroad made me think about the world in a different way. I really enjoyed seeing how the French live their lives. They take the time to appreciate art and culture more than we do in America. Obviously not everyone, but I definitely felt different in Paris and would love to live there one day. I have the sam..."
Kathryn B Fordham University
"A lot more open minded now, open to more experiences. I feel like I can do anything now that I learned a new language and spent five months living in a foreign country. I may even consider being a translator."
Kathryn L Hope College
"Great but I wish I had chosen a smaller city"
Virginia H The University of Texas at Austin
"I did not think Ireland would be much different then the US. Don't be fooled by the fact they speak English. The folklore and history is captivating. "
Grace H University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
"It was a great experience and it has inspired me to travel more in the future!"
Jerome W Hope College
"I feel like I was pretty culturally aware before I went abroad, so living abroad, I was able to find my place in the culture very easily. Being able to call a country home when it is so different from what you're used to is truly one of the most amazing experiences. "
Kristin P Providence College
"absolutely"
Tessa J The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned about myself as a performer and it really pushed me more than I have been at my home university. Also, I loved living in Dublin. It made me aware of the different ways people see the world and how many different lifestlyes are out there. It's made me want to travel more and maybe even study in a foreign country again."
Rikki P The University of Texas at Austin
"It was an amazing time that went by too quickly. I learned a lot of Spanish and about the political science of Spain all the while having the time of my life meeting new people and going new places. "
Will C The University of Texas at Austin
"HUGE appreciation for America. Love for travel - I want to see everything now. I am very hopeful to return to Europe in the near future."

"I think it was worthwhile. I feel as if it is important to experience other cultures and living in Spain was a good was to get a more in depth look at Spanish life. "
ToniAnn T The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, it was worthwhile. I got to live in one of the most interesting cities in the world with a Spanish family, that opened my eyes to the world outside the US. "
Spencer L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot, mostly about myself. I would love to go back to Paris for an extended time but have found this to be very difficult. "
Alexandra K The University of Texas at Austin
"It helped me define what I want from life, and gave me an academic and cultural understanding of another country... a rare thing to get."
Lyndi V The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes yes yes. I was able to move past the "tourist" phase by spending so much time in one city. I felt like I really got to invest myself in a people group. I went as a history/religion double major and came back even more confident that I had chosen the right path. It was just a wonderful experience overall."
Hannah B Hope College
"It was so worthwhile. I learned so much about the Italian culture. I learned a lot about myself as well. Amazing experience."
